check out these minimalist nativity scenes.

be jeally

check out this SEC clock, which my brother stole from me. auburn is given the appropriate degree of prominence, and the rest of the team mascots are ordered clockwise as such:

stupid bama elephants, ole miss racists, florida tebow gaytors, mississippi state bulldykes, LSU copycats, georgia dead-ass bulldogs, kentucky wildshats, AUBURN TIGERS!!!, tennessee volunteers (looks more like a member of the band), and the vanderbilt who gives a shits.

grolar bear, pizzly bear

i was reading this article about how climate change is affecting bear evolution, and they mentioned grolar bears. i assumed it was typo, but to my delight, i have discovered an entire new kind of bear to love! a grolar bear, or pizzly, is a grizzly-polar hybrid, the product of interracial bear love.

i know right

remixin'

happy thanksgiving

bear puppy

check out this action packed photo series from a guy doing bear monitoring in maine. they found a den with bear puppies and pulled the mom out to measure them. ceeeyute! from blake, via melissa.

poppy and ruby

sandra bullock told ellen that she has two rescue pups named poppy and ruby. one bipedal, one tripod.

i watched lagerfield confidential the other day, and karl said that this show came from a dream... the clothes, the sets, the whole scene was a karl lagerfield dream.

things

i've shown you places and people. now it's time to show you a few wonderful things i stumbled upon while visiting auburn.

my dear friend dorothy slappin' five with punky the pekingese. fact : legend has it, pekingese are the offspring of a lion and a butterfly, made possible by the power of buddha.

hey keekers. this is that corner you love so much. 'you honk, we drink!'

more like the smelly snatch rose garden

i found these bitches-in-heat at my favorite place to eat lunch, blue blagel. i added the 'L' because i like it that way.

people

i've shown you auburn places, now it's time to show you auburn people. warning : this will be considerably less classy.

these girls exhibit the hottest and most persistent trend for fall in auburn. uggs paired with a full-blown cotton jersey nap suit, or a t-shirt and the shortest nylon running shorts you can find. classic. i swear.to god. the girl in the background is saying 'my feet are freezing, but my vag is hot as hell!'

guy on recumbent bike. in addition to the flag, it had a big silver horn. oh, and nice basket, jerk.

guy on unicycle. these atypical cycle situations occurred with about 5 minz between them. just sayin'.

a parking attendant. he has to sit here all day, but don't worry. if you can't tell, he packed a hearty lunch of dr. pepper and doritos...mmmm.

happy t-giving to me!!

my crossed fingers worked! out of here in 30 mins, y'all!

places

this past weekend i visited my old stompin' grounds, auburn university. and since some of you (kiley and gangz for sure) have never been, i thought i would let you all know what you've been missing.

the two sisters : aka 'old main' : aka samford hall

frederick law olmsted designed this portion of the campus. can you handle it?

the quad lawn and katherine cooper carter hall. regal as hell.

non-stop class

jeally?

toomer's corner! where we celebrate our many, many football game victories.

THE END

seems fair.

In an effort to reduce automobile usage and greenhouse gas emissions, the Dutch cabinet has approved a driving tax that would charge motorists seven cents a mile.

The plan, which must still be approved by parliament, would use GPS systems installed in each car to keep track of mileage and automatically bill drivers. The mileage charges would be higher at rush hour, for large cars, and for commercial vehicles. Dutch officials said the driving tax, which would replace existing road taxes and duties on new car purchases, is designed to cut traffic by 15 percent and reduce emissions from transport by 10 percent.

omg thanksgiving is tomorrow!!! and while i sit here autoCAD-ing with crossed fingers, hoping that this office will close up shop early and let me outta here, i wanted to build a bit of buzz for this often overlooked holiday. jk, obvi. people love thanksgiving! and why wouldn't they? here's a few turkey-day-related items from the internet and beyond:

emily shared this recipe for cranberry butter rolls, which she claims were a big hit last year. they look pretty delicious.

here's some liberal hippie shit from PETA trying to convince people not to eat turkey on thanksgiving. gmafb, am i right? g.animalz sent me that, and i think that she secretly believes in it.

some people get really excited about the macy's thanksgiving day parade. there's no arguing that its one of new york's longest running and most nostalgic traditions. but who has time to go uptown and stand in the middle of child-ridden crowds when you've got a freshly-humiliated turkey (see above) to prepare!

as an alternative, go up to central park west tonight, and watch them blow up the parade balloons. i hear it's just great. how many years do you think it will be before we get a twilight balloon? i hope not many.

and speaking of nostalgia, don't miss a charlie brown thanksgiving, airing on abc at 8/7c tomorrow.

2Pz wishes you all a fulfilling and filling holiday. be sure to send us some photos of your turkey day highlights, including meals, grandparents, pets, tryptophan comas, etc.
